Answer:

D.Lowering the temperature is the best option.

Explanation:

The value of equilibrium constants aren't changed with change in the pressure or concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium. The only thing that changes the value of equilibrium constant is a change of temperature.

In the reaction below for example;

A + B <==>C+D

If you have moved the position of the equilibrium to the right (and so increased the amount of C and D), why hasn't the equilibrium constant increased?

Let's assume that the equilibrium constant mustn't change if you decrease the concentration of C - because equilibrium constants are constant at constant temperature. Why does the position of equilibrium move as it does?

If you decrease the concentration or pressure of C, the top of the Kc expression gets smaller. That would change the value of Kc. In order for that not to happen, the concentrations of C and D will have to increase again, and those of A and B must decrease. That happens until a new balance is reached when the value of the equilibrium constant expression reverts to what it was before.

A 1.00 g sample of octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 837J∘C that holds 1200. g of water at

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is -5485.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of octane = 1.00 grams

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 837 J/°C

Mass of water = 1200 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature : 33.2 °C

Step 2: Calculate heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q = c*ΔT

⇒ with c = the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 837 J/°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25.0 : 8.2 °C

q = 837 * 8.2 = 6863.4 J

Step 3: Calculate heat absorbed by the water

q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of the water = 1200 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25 = 8.2 °C

q = 1200 * 4.184 * 8.2 = 41170.56 J

Step 4: Calculate the total heat

qcalorimeter + qwater = 6863.4 + 41170. 56 = 48033.96 J = 48 kJ

Since this is an exothermic reaction, there is heat released. q is positive but ΔH is negative.

Step 5: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = 1.00 gram / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 0.00875 moles

Step 6: Calculate heat combustion for 1.00 mol of octane

ΔH = -48 kJ / 0.00875 moles

ΔH = -5485.7 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is -5485.7 kJ/mol

The expression of the theoretical yield (TY) in function of limiting reagent (LR) of a reaction is as follows: TY = ideal mole r

spin [16.1K]

Answer: The theoretical yield of acetanilide is 6.5 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For aniline:

Given mass of aniline = $4.50\times 10^0=4.50g$ (We know that: $10^0=1$ )

Molar mass of aniline = 93.13 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aniline}=\frac{4.50g}{93.13g/mol}=0.048mol$

For acetic anhydride:

To calculate the mass of acetic anhydride, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Volume of acetic anhydride = $(1.25\times \text{Mass of aniline})=1.25\times 4.50=5.625mL$

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/mL

Putting values in above equation:

$1.08g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}}{5.625mL}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}=(1.08g/mL\times 5.625mL)=6.08g$

Given mass of acetic anhydride = 6.08 g

Molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of acetic anhydride}=\frac{6.08g}{102.1g/mol}=0.06mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of aniline and acetic anhydride follows:

$C_6H_5NH_2+CH_3COOCOCH_3\rightarrow C_6H_5NHCOCH_3+CH_3COOH$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aniline reacts with 1 mole of acetic anhydride

So, 0.048 moles of aniline will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.048=0.048mol$ of acetic anhydride

As, given amount of acetic anhydride is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aniline is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aniline produces 1 mole of acetanilide

So, 0.048 moles of aniline will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.048=0.048mol$ of acetanilide

Now, calculating the theoretical yield of acetanilide by using equation 1:

Moles of acetanilide = 0.048 moles

Molar mass of acetanilide = 135.17 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.048mol=\frac{\text{Mass of acetanilide}}{135.17g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of acetanilide}=(0.048mol\times 135.17g/mol)=6.5g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of acetanilide is 6.5 grams.
